Mitch the creator of TV-B-Gone gave us a truly great device. A tiny little keychain that has the ability to turn off or on virtually any tv in under 70 seconds. The only problem is people catch on... people know about tv b gones now adays and look for them. You have to come up with new ways to cloak your tvbg so you can turn off tvs in public and not get caught. Then I had this idea, what about a tv b gone in an ipod! I carried on with the idea and was quite satisfied with my results :)

You could actually pull this off and still keep the ipod fully functional. Heck, there's no reason that you couldn't do it with any music player.

I'd do this myself, but I don't have the hardware to pull it off. It would be sweet if someone could record the signals and post them so we could all download that sweet, sweet TV-B Gone goodness.
